Afghanistan Changed Me (I'm gay now)

And I think that...

I don't want to say it's misunderstood, but...

it just has, there's a lot to it.

You have like the element of, you know, the, the government, let's say you have that, you have that element.

You have the element of like all the old military equipment that we left around.

But they're looking past it and they can just have that human connection of like, we're just going to have tea.

We're just going to have lunch.

You're my brother.

You're my friend.

I don't care if you're Christian or not.

But then at the same time, they're doing certain things to their own people that make you question, you know, their intentions.

had, like, so many layers to it.

Like, there's so many different ways to look at every single interaction I had, whether a positive lens, a negative lens, whatever it is, depending on my mood, I guess.

But I wanted to say, like, Afghanistan is just completely, like...
